Under the bonnet
The underbonnet of the vehicle is
a dangerous area that could cause
serious injuries.
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI there
are the vehicle's drive train and the reser voirs
containing the fluids needed for the correct
operation of your E-MEHARI (brake fluid,
coolant and screenwash fluid).
The drive train is directly powered by the
LMP
® battery fitted to your E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Opening the bonnet
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicle's
left-hand front wheel arch. 2.
Tip the bonnet safety catch (1) . Raise and
secure the bonnet using the stay (2) .
The bonnet stay goes into the red cut-out (3)
provided for this purpose.
When opening the bonnet, ensure that it
is always supported by the stay, so as to
avoid any injury resulting from the bonnet
dropping.
Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid its sudden dropping.

Practical information

66
To top up the screenwash fluid: remove the cap
from the reser voir, place a funnel in the neck
of the reser voir and fill the reser voir up to the
"MAX" mark.
In low temperatures, use a
screenwash
fluid with adequate protection against
freezing.
Always be extremely vigilant when
filling the screenwash reservoir and
take account of the general safety
recommendations mentioned in this
handbook.
Hibernation mode
Hibernation mode allows the consumption
of energy from the battery to be reduced to
a


minimum.
In this way you can park your E-MEHARI, not
connected and therefore with no consumption
of electrical energy, for several weeks or even
several months.
Coming out of hibernation mode takes 4
hours
and is followed by the charging time (a
maximum of between 8
and 13 hours).
You cannot put your E-MEHARI into
hibernation with a
battery state of charge
of less than 25%.
Going into hibernation
mode
Maximum hibernation period
depending on the state of charge
of the battery
In hibernation, the battery will self-discharge by
between 0.5% and 1% per day.
Therefore, the maximum duration of
hibernation depending on the battery charge
level is:
100%: 4
months
75% – 99%: 3
months
50% – 74%: 2
months
25% – 49%: 1
month 2.
If necessary, unlock your vehicle and
disconnect the charging plug.
3. Turn the ignition key to the first position,
the screen then displays:
4. Press the settings button (1) on the
right of the screen. The screen displays
various possible choices.
5. Select "Extended dormancy" using the
arrows.
6. Press and hold the settings button for

seconds.
7. Switch off the ignition. Entry into
hibernation mode is confirmed.
1. Move your vehicle close to a
charging
point.
Practical information

The screen goes off after 30 seconds.
T he switch to hibernation mode takes effect
after approximately 4


hours.
During this time, it is possible to cancel
switching to hibernation mode, as well as to
unlock or lock the vehicle.
Once this time has passed, your vehicle can no
longer be locked or unlocked.
If you intend to lock your vehicle, make sure to
take out your charging cable beforehand.
If the vehicle is to be put into hibernation
mode for a
long period, to prolong the ser vice
life of the 12
V ancillaries battery, you can
remove it or disconnect its (-) terminal.
Cancelling the switch to
hibernation mode
The switch to hibernation mode takes effect
after approximately 4 hours.
During this time, it is possible to cancel
switching to hibernation mode.
It will not necessarily be possible to use your
E-MEHARI right away (a long warm-up phase
may take place depending on the time between
starting hibernation and cancelling it).
If the screen displays "Standby – Connect the
plug" (with the vehicle logo circled in red), you
will not be able to start. Switch off the ignition
and connect your E-MEHARI.
Coming out of hibernation
mode
You have to be in possession of the charging
cable and be able to connect your vehicle to
a
power supply to be able to wake the vehicle
from hibernation. 1.
Press the settings button on the right of
the screen. The screen asks if you wish
to cancel the hibernation.
2. Press and hold the settings button
for 5 seconds to cancel the switch to
hibernation mode. It is imperative that you do not
disconnect the vehicle during the
warm-up phase.
After the warm-up phase, the charging of
the battery begins.
Wait until the charge level reaches 100%
before disconnecting your E-MEHARI.
Audio system
Radio
Your E-MEHARI is pre-wired to receive any
audio system with ISO connectors.
You can install the model of your choice.
However, as your E-MEHARI can only
accommodate one audio system, installing
a
new audio system means that the Bluetooth
audio system which is already fitted must be
disconnected. To come out of hibernation mode, simply
connect the charging cable.
It takes approximately 4
hours for the battery
to wake up.
During this warm-up phase, the indicator
lamp on the charging shut-off button and the
charging indicator lamp on the display flash
rapidly.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
Access to the repair kit
Your E-MEHARI's puncture repair kit is located
under the boot floor hatch.
The boot floor hatch is opened with the grip
located at the left-hand side of the boot floor
(only if your E-MEHARI is unlocked using your
personal RFID key ring).
Using the repair kit
Refer to the instructions provided with the
compressor.Never remove from a
tyre a foreign body
that has caused a puncture.
The sealant product contained in the
compressor is toxic and is an irritant.
Never ingest it, never spray it onto the
body, face or eyes. If it is ingested, call the emergency services
immediately (fire service, ambulance, etc.) or
go to a


hospital's emergency department.
If it enters the eyes, wash with abundant
clean water and consult a doctor without
d e l ay.
If the symptoms persist, consult a specialist.
Keep the sealant product out of the reach
of children.
Do not simply throw the old cartridge
away after use; take it to your CITROËN
authorised repairer or to a waste recovery
organisation that specialises in this type
of product.
Once the tyre has been repaired, go
to a
CITROËN authorised repairer or
a
qualified professional as soon as
possible.
If you are unable to obtain the desired
pressure after a
few minutes of operation
of the compressor, this means that the
tyre cannot be repaired.

qualified professional.
Your E-MEHARI is an electric vehicle that
includes systems operating at high voltage
and high currents. The maintenance
on the fuses under the bonnet of your
E-MEHARI must be carried out by
a


qualified person.
Incorrect handling could cause an electric
shock resulting in serious injury or death.
Fuses in the passenger
compartment
If an electric system is not working, check the
condition of the fuses. Remove the nut from the access cover
(1)
located below the passenger storage
compartment.
The tweezers for extracting fuses (1) are
located under the bonnet. To check and replace a fuse:
-
E
xtract the fuse using the tweezers (1)
-
S
lide it sideways to release it from the
tweezers
-
I
t is recommended not to use the free fuse
locations
-
D
o not forget to return the tweezers (1)
to
their holder
Check the condition of the fuse and, if
necessary, replace it with a new fuse,
which must be of the same rating as the
original fuse.
A fuse of too high a rating could cause
overheating of the electrical system (risk
of fire) if there were abnormal current
consumption in a circuit.
